Seafood Market Mushigamaya

Seafood Market Mushigamaya is a casual eatery located near Obama Onsen. It serves fresh, locally caught seafood and is popular not only with visitors but also with residents. Its signature feature is jigoku-mushi-a steaming method that uses natural hot-spring steam. Diners select seafood directly from the tanks inside the restaurant, pair it with fresh vegetables, and steam everything themselves for a hands-on dining experience.

This cooking method concentrates the natural flavors of the ingredients, resulting in simple yet remarkably rich dishes. The menu also includes a wide variety of rice bowls and set meals. Rice bowls range from the chef’s selection to specialties like the “Hokkai Bowl,” “Seared Salmon Bowl,” and “Fresh Salmon Bowl.” Set meals include options such as the Sashimi Set, Tempura Set, Tempura & Sashimi Combo, Fish Head Stew Set, and Fried Shrimp Set.

The restaurant is spacious, offering both table seating and tatami rooms, and is equipped with amenities for children. Families, couples, and groups of friends make up much of the clientele, with many guests stopping by during their sightseeing trips. Nearby attractions include Obama Onsen, the Obama History Museum, and the Terraced Rice Field Viewpoint, making this a place where you can enjoy both a unique hot-spring experience and a satisfying meal in one stop.
